I'm doomed. LOL! although, I'm quite broke, so perhaps that will save me HAHAHA

wow, I am in awe at all of these soaps! it really is an art form. I am so inspired right now. oh gosh, I hope this isn't going to be another addictive hobby ROFL!!!

well the water I put in it didn't bow, but then again my guess is that soap is heavier than water :)

oh excellent! thanks! I thought about putting it in a box of the same size or something? or perhaps the books all around would work. thats a good idea! I cant wait to get started!

they were at the discount store new for 99c, marked down from 12.99. they're 8.5x8.5. this is my first time making soap, but is there anything special I need to do to use these? do I need to grease them first or use parchment paper? I am wondering if they're going to bow out on me when I use...

I saw one for $10 last night, but it is more than I want to spend right now since $ is extremely tight. I would prefer to get a used one, but I can't find a used one is all. not sure if I want to steal my one for cooking though, I don't use it that often but when I need it I need it, ya know?

OK, no butters. I will save those for lotion. thank you!

thanks guys!! I have one, I just don't want to hand it over to soapmaking hahaha.

all I can think of is, "what did they do in the olden days" LOL! ya know, I ought to see if my mom would let me have the hand crank mixer thing.... that wouldn't cost me anything. I wonder if it would work the same as a stick blender..

or is it just to make it easier? is it really necessary?

Nice!!! I am going to get some cinnamon eo too. and I was going to get orange. I don't see orange on the list though.

also, thank you for the remelting idea. I hadn't thought of that.

that is AWESOME. thank you!!! I'm planning on putting peppermint oil in it since I like it tingly :) maybe I should get some mica to give it a little tint? I'm contemplating that. I can't wait for my tubes to come in the mail so I can make some!!! I'm so excited!!!

thank you for the recommendation! I will look for that book, thank you :)

please update on your recipe when you try it, I am getting ready to do my first batch as well after I get my suet next week and I render it. I was looking for an easy recipe like this :)

I've been trying to search the web and I've searched this site but I'm not finding any info besides using a premade base. can I make body wash from scratch?

thanks! the thing is, is there a way to do smaller batches accurately for testing purposes? or is it just extremely hard to get it right with such small measurements? I'd hate to make a regular batch and end up hating it. is it more important to do larger portions of liquid oils to...

I have tried a couple different lip balms that I have purchased and one was luxurious and so smooth. the other was hard as a rock and just didn't glide on at all. I want to make a really nice one. a smooth gliding one ya know? But I am new at this and I dont know which recipes to choose from...
